Stanford Professor and Director of the Stanford Diabetes Research Center, Dr. Seung Kook Kim (Harvard College AB ’85; Stanford University MD '92, PhD '92), has created new experience-based ways to teach high school science, called StanEx.
Dr. Kim and his Stanford team have established StanEx programs in several schools around the US, including a new course at the Pritzker College Prep school in the Noble Charter system in Chicago. Together with members of his Stanford team, Dr. Kim will describe the motivation, implementation and exciting outcomes from these programs, including publication of articles in professional science journals, and generation of valuable new tools for biology in partnership with his teams of high school students and their instructors (see links below). He will also describe plans for expanding StanEx, development of a StanEx teachers' academy, and links of these programs to current diabetes research at Stanford. Dr. Kim is winner of numerous Stanford teaching and international medical research awards. We are excited to welcome him to Chicago.
Dr. Seung Kook Kim concentrated in Biochemical Sciences while studying at Harvard. A special invitation goes out to members of the Harvard Club of Chicago.
All are welcome to register, regardless of membership in the Stanford Club of Chicago.
